Creative commercials that you'll never forget

Sony Bravia

Honda

Great set of commercials. My favorites were the Folgers and Firefox. Weeeeee!

Neil Patel, October 24, 2006

Thanks Justin.

My favorite is the dove commercial.

pedro, October 24, 2006

Not complete without the banned Xbox 360 commercial.

_asais, October 24, 2006

So good collection of ads! Firefox is the funniest :D

silid, October 24, 2006

Should have had the Honda advert where the car rolls off the ramp through a series of events that are all made of parts of the car.

If you have seen it you will know what I am talking about.

Markus, October 24, 2006

Awesome collection!

The only one I would add is the Citreon transformer ad. Probably my all time favourite.

Here it is on youtube!

Ed, October 24, 2006

Wow...what a collection!

I wonder if the Carlton advert really did have that many people, it would be particularly cunning if, in-fact, it wasn’t a big ad...

the english guy, October 24, 2006

Great collection of ads there, added you as a daily link on my blog.

The Ipod commercial? really? Especially following the Accord commercial. The difference was so night and day it was like comparing the Mona Lisa with my 3 year olds scribbles. Other then that good collection.

Neongoat, October 24, 2006

Nice collection! Thanks a lot for sharing with us!

bookishboy, October 24, 2006

Some real gems here. I recommend that the Nutrigrain "I feel GREAT" spot be added to the collection.

JShell, October 24, 2006

The new Bravia commercial with the exploding paint is also quite good.

Commercials I've never forgotten:

  • Zest "Zestfully Clean". (Do I look clean to you? Surprise. Hard water leaves ....).

  • VW "Pink Moon". Also, "Clutch Foot" (a woman working out in a gym, working only on her left leg. guy asks her "clutch foot?" she says "yes", commercial fades to "new volkswagens are coming". great capture of excitement for the upcoming models)

armen, October 24, 2006

can't believe you dont have the classic "got milk" commercials like aaaahruon bhuure. not to mention the fedex caveman clip.

Sunglasses Designer, October 24, 2006

I really had fun with this comercials.And the best is the one with Firefox ... Weee ! :) Hhahaha ! Great job for today.

klaue, October 25, 2006

you forgot the "unpimp your auto" commercials from VW http://youtube.com/watch?v=weNuRCAPmxo

Ruff, October 25, 2006

Yeah the Carlton Ad was big. I worked on it. There were a lot of guys there. I mean... it was really big!

Ryan, October 25, 2006

Cool collection of commercials...you said that dull and humorless advertising is not memorable or effective. It makes wonder, what conditions does a commercial have to meet to be "effective." And what exactly does that mean anyways? In addition to the ambiguity of defining "effectiveness," how do we measure it?

A few months ago, I saw a series of commercials by a company called "Head On" on late night tv I think I was watching cheaters or something equally trashy. They just kept repeating "HEAD ON!" over and over though out the entire commercial. By the end, I wanted to kill myself.

Last night I brought the commercial up to my friend, and we talked about how annoying it was for the better part of 10 minutes. Is that an effective commercial? I remember the brand and talk about it, but hate it with every bone in my body.

Neil Patel, October 25, 2006

Ryan, I would say the Head On commercials were effective. They were so irritating that people remembered the brand and talked about the commercials.

As for the word "effectiveness" I probably should have not used that word in the blog post. Like you mentioned it is very vague and we are not always able to measure a commercials effectiveness.

depi, October 25, 2006

Hi Neil, thanks for the cool video ads. It is interesting to see, how popular are the "domino effect" ads. It's really interesting too see what will be at the end, and there is always some big surprise.

So thanks for them, I will link to your article on the weekend in my regular Weekend links (in my Slovak blog)

Tim, October 25, 2006

Honda ad, hands down. :)

jack, October 27, 2006

I recently found a very interesting website: http://alreadylinked.com/ There you can purchase ad space for your Blog etc.

neil, October 29, 2006

I prefer this Xbox commercial

dan, October 30, 2006

@ Ruff

you may have been on the comercial but most of the actors were CG created with a program called massive. Here is the story:
